Reduced NEXI protocol for the quantification of human gray matter microstructure on the Connectome 2.0 scanner
The episode discusses a new protocol that reduces brain scan time from 27 minutes to 14 minutes while maintaining high accuracy. Researchers used an Explainable AI framework and synthetic data to optimize the scan, allowing for detailed quantification of gray matter microstructure. This breakthrough makes advanced brain imaging faster and more practical for routine clinical use.
